David Horstmann 0634168296 Reference issue #3266
This is the issue that tracks incomplete support for buffer overlap, so
we should refer to it when we discuss partial support whenever
MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set.

Security
* Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
to PSA functions is now secure by default.
The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
by copying buffers.
This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
be only partially supported (#3266).
Fixes CVE-2024-28960
Bugfix
* Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
